is an association of people for whom the rights and dignity of defenders are always the main
priority. Together we consolidate efforts, experience and professional assistance in various
fields to provide reliable support and accompaniment for everyone who stands up to defend the
country. Our work is based on respect, unity and responsibility, and most importantly: real
actions that help Union members every day.
Medical Rehabilitation
We help Union members access specialist consultations, comprehensive medical examinations, and medical rehabilitation programs. Enforced by our partners, we create opportunities for support, recovery, and a return to active life.
Independence, autonomy and transparency of the union's activities, based on voluntary
participation and open decision-making.
Transparency and accountability in the performance of tasks, openness of information about
activities, decisions and results of work.
Mutual respect, unity and solidarity of union members, equality of rights, support for common
interests and teamwork.
Continuous development and improvement of activities, training, updating approaches and
responding to modern challenges.
Respect for the legislation of Ukraine and democratic principles, observance of human rights
and norms of current law.
Support for Veterans
We support veterans with post-service adaptation, legal protection, recovery, employment, and inclusion in the community. At the same time, the Union is open not only to veterans – other categories of defenders and people connected to this community are also welcome to join.
We provide general guidance on matters related to benefits, compensation, entitlements, documentation, and confirmation of rights. We do not offer one-size-fits-all solutions for every case, but we help Union members better understand their situation and make the process of resolving their request as clear and manageable as possible.
Bionic Prosthetics in Ukraine: New Opportunities for Defenders and Veterans
The All-Ukrainian Trade Union of Defenders of Ukraine continues to expand opportunities for service members, veterans, and others who require advanced prosthetic care following limb loss. Together with our partner UABionics, a Ukrainian developer of state-of-the-art bionic upper-limb prostheses, we are working to make high-quality prosthetic solutions more accessible to those who need them most.
We help Union members navigate legal matters related to service, documents, status, benefits, and interaction with institutions. Practical support is provided primarily through primary and regional organizations, and, where needed, is strengthened by nationwide partnerships.
